For the second year in a row, Sendero Business Services has been named one of the Dallas 100 fastest-growing, privately held companies in North Texas!
Launched by SMU’s Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship in 1990, the Dallas 100 is a tribute to the vitality and entrepreneurial spirit of the emerging business community in North Texas. The companies honored in 2011 have made significant contributions to the area by generating jobs, increasing the tax base, and fostering North Texas’ reputation as a premier economic development center.
The Dallas 100 award winners – the area’s fastest-growing privately held companies – are chosen solely on increased growth in sales, giving weight to percentage of growth and absolute growth between 2008 and 2010. An eligible company must be an independent, privately held corporation, proprietorship, or partnership (not a subsidiary or division of a parent company), as of May 1, 2011; be located in the Dallas area; have had sales of more than $500,000 in fiscal 2008; have had sales of not more than $75 million in 2008; have a three-year sales history reflecting growth, and have a credit report and character satisfying to the Dallas 100.
